Leigh Griffiths focused on making Scotland squad for Euro 2020

Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths has admitted that he was disappointed by the criticism from Scotland supporters after his decision to snub a call-up to the national team back in October. The marksman had opted for a call-off from international duty to focus on his fitness during that period but that did not go well with the country’s faithful, who ridiculed him through different social media platforms.

Shortly after snubbing Scotland, Griffiths went around six weeks with illness and injury concerns and on his return, he has been restricted to a bench role with the Hoops. Nonetheless, he has not expressed his frustration regarding the same and it remains to be seen whether he can oust Odsonne Edouard for the centre-forward role. Griffiths has been with the Hoops since the summer of 2013 and he has contributed 104 goals in more than 200 appearances for the club.
